REFLECTION FOR TODAY
Both widows in today’s readings gave all they had to the
work of the Lord, one using all her remaining food to feed
Elijah and the other offering her two copper coins to the
temple treasury. Good stewards give all that is asked and
trust God to be faithful to His promises.

Father Chris Wants You To Know...
11 False Statements about Annulments
And Some Plain Truth from Fr. Chris Heller
1. The Catholic Church prohibits divorce. False.
The Catholic Church recognizes the reality of civil divorce, and the Catholic Church prohibits
remarriage after a divorce unless the first marriage has first been annulled or declared null and
void, which would free a person to remarry in the Church.
2. When it comes to annulments, civil marriages and marriages in other
Churches without the permission of the Catholic Church don’t count. False.
Of course those marriages count, as long as there was and officiating judge, justice of the peace,
or minister: they happened as part of your human history. At the same time, it’s important to point
out that all marriages are NOT the same: some require annulments to address the prior marriage,
while others require a simpler format to address it. Ask your pastor, parish priests or deacons
about distinguishing one from the other.
3. Annulments are Catholic divorces. False.
A civil divorce says that the union that existed between two people no longer exists. A Catholic
annulment says that although a marriage received the blessing of the Catholic Church, it failed for
some very specific reasons. The pre-existing negative conditions in your relationship, uncovered
during the annulment process, will explain objectively why this marriage did not last, why it was
not fruitful and beneficial for both parties, and why the Sacrament of Matrimony did not or could
not take root in their relationship.
4. Annulments cost about $10,000. False.
Annulments are procedures that do incur a cost, which is $100. Why any cost at all? There is a
special office at the Diocesan Center in Rockville Centre called the Marriage Tribunal, where
priests and staffs work exclusively on helping people whose prior valid unions end in divorce and
who want to be married to a Catholic in a Catholic-blessed celebration to obtain an annulment.
There are costs for the secretaries, as well as for the psychiatrist who will read the testimony and
reports submitted by the one seeking an annulment, as well as the testimonies of those other
persons who write in support of the annulment being granted.
5. Celebrities and stars get annulments quicker. False
From time to time we hear about people getting preferred treatment, but this is not the case.
Nicole Kidman waited in line with everyone else in her diocese to obtain an annulment prior to
her most recent marriage.
6. An annulment means your previous marriage never existed. False.
Of course it existed! Your marriage that was blessed by the Catholic Church and that you hoped
would last forever most certainly did exist! The deacon or priest who presided at your wedding, as
well as two witnesses and family, friends, and loved ones, plus the pictures and the videotape
recording all validate the event. It would be more accurate to say that an annulment explains why
the union didn’t last.

Father Chris Wants You To Know...
7. Receiving an annulment makes your children illegitimate. False.
No, No, No: this is the most widespread misconception. The Church does not have the authority or the
jurisdiction to declare that someone is illegitimate: it is the civil law that declares persons
legitimate or not. In God’s eyes, every one of us is legitimate, loveable, precious and of eternal value.
8. It takes 5 years to obtain an annulment. False.
It usually takes between 12 and 15 months, and in certain circumstances it can take longer. But the delays
are NOT at the Tribunal Office. To petition for an annulment, you and family members or friends who
knew you and your ex-spouse before, during and after your marriage will write
accounts of what they recall from your marriage. These will include memories, observed
behaviors, stories and recollections. The truth is that delays in obtaining church annulments in the New
York metropolitan area are most often caused by persons who have promised to write and testify on our
behalf, but who do not write and submit these testimonies in a timely way.
9. To get an annulment, you have to say negative things about your ‘ex.’ False.
You simply have to tell the truth from your perspective an experience. No mud necessary. And yes, your
ex may tell a very different story about your marriage.
10. Your ‘ex-spouse’ can prevent you from getting an annulment. False.
Because you were married, and because an annulment could benefit both of you, the Tribunal
notifies your ex-spouse of your petition for an annulment. Your ex receives thirty (30) days to
respond, which could be: to ignore responding entirely; or “I’ll tell you my side of the story;” or “I’m not
saying anything;” or “I’m going to contest this annulment.” This last is often used
without understanding all of the above information concerning annulments. After thirty days, the process
moves forward with all correspondence and testimony being considered.
11. Every marriage not held in a Catholic Church needs an annulment before a
second marriage can take place. False.
Certain first marriages do not require and annulment, but rather a much simpler process. Example: two
people (one of them Catholic and neither of them married before) marry before a justice of the peace,
judge, rabbi or minister; if that marriage breaks up and one of the wants to marry a Catholic in a marriage
blessed by the Catholic Church, there is a separate procedure called a
Defect of Form, meaning that the form or ceremony for a particular wedding did not conform to the
Roman Catholic marriage ritual. Please consult your pastor, parish priest or deacons.

Save The Date……..
The Mercy INN Benefit Concert
raised over $11,000 last year through
"drop in the basket"
donations.
St. Joseph's Choir has presented a
concert of beautiful and
inspirational music each
December with all proceeds
benefiting this Soup Kitchen for over 20 years.
The Mercy INN addresses the issue of hunger in the community by
providing hot, nourishing meals in a dignified, comfortable and respectful
manner to those who seek our help. The Mercy INN operates a single
soup kitchen in Wyandanch, New York and we have no paid employees,
except for a part-time custodian. They very much count on the generosity
and talents of the Church of St. Joseph to be able to continue
serving the poor all year.
On Sunday, December 13th at 7 PM the concert will begin with a moving
candlelight procession to the altar where the choir, soloists, strings,
harpsichord and trumpets will perform selections from Vivaldi's GLORIA
and Handel's MESSIAH and two other very beautiful selections. Please
arrive early as the church is put in darkness promptly at 7 PM.. Cash or
checks may be made payable to the Mercy INN Soup Kitchen. Donation
suggestion: $30 family; $15 individual. Our hope is to surpass last year's
total. Contributions may also be dropped off at the Parish Office any time
in an envelope with the "Mercy INN Soup Kitchen" written on the front.

32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time - Cycle B
Deacon’s Corner
Dear sisters and brothers in Christ,
“If someone who has worldly means sees a brother in need and refuses him compassion,
how can the love of God remain in him?” These words are from the First Letter of John,
chapter 3, verse 17. These words always touch my heart and often convict my conscience. By
the standards of this country and much of Western Europe I am not rich, not by any stretch of
the imagination. You will not find my name among those on Forbes Magazine’s list of richest
people in America, thank you, Jesus! I believe I am a simple man with simple needs and
desires. However, when one compares the financial situation of people around our world then I
am rich, by, say, the living standards of most people in Haiti, or Bangladesh, or the Dominican
Republic. And in fact many people in our country are living hand to mouth, many not getting
by.
I recall a gentleman coming to the parish office with two young girls, his daughters, and
asking our secretary if our Outreach Ministry was open. As the secretary began to direct the
man over to the Outreach office another of the ladies in our office, perhaps prompted by her
motherly instincts, or perhaps it was the Holy Spirit, asked the man if the children had eaten (it
was about noon). The man broke down beginning to cry and told her no. In a flash the ladies
began running around the office finding snacks and drinks to give these two little sisters and
this brother in Christ.
Not long ago I went to the local supermarket to pick up a few things that I knew were on
sale. As I gathered the groceries and put them on the checkout belt I noticed an elderly woman
standing in front of me with a girl whom I realized was her granddaughter from the
conversation they carried on. At one point the girl looked at my groceries and then asked her
grandmother, “Grandma, are ALL THOSE ours?” Friends, I did not have a lot of groceries on
the belt. I looked at what these two sisters were buying and I saw it was meager. I also noticed
the grandmother counting out change to purchase her groceries. My heart broke. In fact it
brings tears to my eyes now as I recount the incident.
Many of our sisters and brothers in Christ are hurting and in need. How can I, living in a
comfortable house, with comfortable clothes and plenty to eat not genuinely share the blessings
our Lord has blessed me with those who are hungry and in need? We’re approaching
Thanksgiving and then Christmas: so many will be in need, hungry, some homeless, all, each
one a sister or a brother in Christ. I can’t help everyone who is in need but I can genuinely
share so as many as I can help will be helped. So I’ll give more to our Outreach Ministry that
feeds so many; I’ll give more to our parish; and I’ll give more wherever I can, recalling the
words of our Lord Jesus Christ:
“Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for
me” (Matt. 25:40)

Reflections
WHAT WE DESERVE
Not long ago I attended a Saturday Mass at a neighboring parish. I had been there a few times
and recognized some of those in attendance. Judging them to be regulars, I imagined that they sat in the
same pews each week, that they chose this particular Mass for its convenience (as I had done on this
particular day), and that they had probably planned the rest of their early evening on the (usually) prompt
time that the Mass was completed.
As I sat in the pew attempting to collect my thoughts, whisper my intentions, and get prepared as
best I could for the start of the Mass, I heard a buzz about the congregation. The clock had passed the
hour, and there was no sign of the priest. A few minutes later, the lector announced that he had paged the
celebrant, but had not heard from him. Soon people began to leave; one person I recognized explained
that she didn’t do well driving in the dark and knew she would have trouble if she did not leave at that
moment. Low-toned conversations abounded, but the person behind me did not seem to care who heard
what she had to say. “We don’t deserve to be treated like this,” I thought I heard her say. My immediate
thinking was to wonder how anyone could think that a celebrant would be purposely late…especially with
such predictable congregants. That thought pattern was broken, when the back seater continued, “They
talk about how the Church should practice Catholic action and now we are treated like this. We don’t
deserve it.”
The priest arrived soon after, apologized more profusely than needed, and gave a ninety second
sermon on patience. I wondered if he meant his or ours.
Here’s a question: “What DO we deserve?” Theologically speaking, we have a God who sacrificed
His own Son for our sins, so we can’t be deserving of too much there. Locally speaking, we live in a
country where freedoms and opportunities overflow. Practically speaking, we are relatively healthy and
prosperous compared with those in other parts of the world. For what more can we ask?
We often think we get what we deserve. We actually get so much more; after all, we are sinners.
Our challenge is how to thank God for these many blessings. Complaining when things don’t go our way
does not cut it. We must follow the message of the Gospel by loving God and loving our neighbor;
understand all that we have is from God and should be shared that with those in need.
Making a commitment to our parish is a good way to start.
PRAYER
Loving and Generous Father, too often we place our own needs above those of others and too often we spend time
thinking about ourselves instead of thinking about You. Help us to do better, by giving us the Grace we need to keep our
priorities in line with Gospel values so we can help others in the ways that really will help do the work that You have called us
to individually and collectively do. This we ask in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Welcome to the 2015/2016 Volleyball Season !
Dear Parishioners,
Registration for the upcoming 2016 CYO Volleyball season is now open until December 7th. We
will be fielding teams from 5th grade through 12th grade. Please go to the link under the CYO
Registration Information within the Youth Ministries section of the St. Joseph's Parish website in order to
complete your online
registration.
We will not be accepting registrations after this date under any
circumstances. We cannot accept late registrations due to:
1. The busy holiday season
2. Our desire to establish teams and roster sizes early
3. Challenges to obtain adequate practice times for all of our teams
Our objective is to accommodate all interested volleyball players when
possible. However we do seek to keep the volleyball roster sizes at fifteen
players in total. Preference will be given to early registrations and St. Joseph's parishioners.
On Saturday December 5th between the hours of 8am and 10am we will be holding a uniform fitting
session in the gym at St. Joseph's. This will be
important for the incoming 5th grade team.
Thank you to everyone that participates and particular thanks to our coaches and volunteers. We look
forward to a great season.
Please contact Sean Beneville ([email protected]) if you
have any questions regarding the program or
registration details.
Thank you

Pope Francis’ Visit Through the Eyes of Our Parishioners
Lasting Memories of Pope Francis
I have heard people refer to Pope Francis as a ‘man of faith for all faiths’. Indeed the
people I was standing with, (for 6 hours) in Central Park, reflected God’s blessed variety but
unity of purpose. Our devotion and intensity mirrored Saint Francis and the Pope’s singular
reflection of that faithfulness. He is calling us to a new purpose “forever ancient and forever
new”……love and mercy. "We love everything according to our own goodness” God bless you
and keep you, Francis.
Audrey McHugh
After arriving on an early train, my husband Tim and I made our way to 26th Street and 7th
Avenue, where the line to enter Madison Square Garden (MSG) for the Papal Mass ended at this time.
It was 12:00 and the doors were not due to open until 2:00 p.m. that afternoon. It was a beautiful day
and it was as if the Holy Spirit had entered the hearts of everyone waiting to see the Holy Father. We
met many people on the line from all over New York. Many priests and religious brothers and sisters
had traveled a great distance to attend. We saw many students from various Catholic High Schools as
well. We felt this was a very important part of the journey. We heard many stories of how we all found
ourselves here, together, on this special day to see this special man. The line began to move at 1:30 and
the excitement grew. We finally made it through security and to our seats by 4:00. When Pope Francis
arrived at MSG at approximately 6:10, the level of excitement was great. I remember feeling very
emotional and “comforted” at the same time. What stood out most for me was Pope Francis’ humility.
He and Cardinal Dolan were examples of the Pope’s great homily – despite the size of the New York
community, we as Catholics should remember that we are neighbors and should treat each other with
neighborly love. And, despite being the Pontiff himself, he concluded our prayer by offering his prayers
to us, but also asking us to remember to pray for him. This very special day left me with a great feeling
of love and comfort. To be present at this place, at this time, with 20,000+ people, and this special
priest, was a true gift and one I will not soon forget.
Maria McCarthy
When the invitation to go to Central Park was offered to me thoughts raced through my mind. It was sure to be a long
grueling day. Was I up to it? Should I bring a cane, maybe my walker? Last year at this time I was just getting out of
a wheelchair! A trip to the city would have been out of the question then. Now I was walking and back to work and
participating in my favorite church activities. I had to go. When would the Pope come again? I could do it. Yes, I must
go. When we arrived in the city the streets were already barricaded and police directed us along a winding path
stopping near the entrance to the park. We were “inside” with the other ticket holders. Then noise broke out as a few
people were trying to get the attention of the police. They had spare tickets and wanted to offer them to the people
across the street, “outside”. The police obliged and cheers of “thank you” bellowed across the wide avenue, then
more cheers of “your welcome” echoed back. People were being so nice to each other! Promptly at 11 am the line
began to move as we were ushered to dozens of check point inspection booths similar to those at the airports. It was
so organized and orderly. We felt so safe. Then, there we were, in the park. Wherever possible we clung to the
barricade fence; claimed a patch of grassy knoll or a raised rock to sit on. Over my shoulder a woman had climbed a
tree. Look at Zacchaeus I thought. Talking to perfect strangers we found out where they came from and how they got
their tickets. Some sang songs. Some prayed. The hills north of us filled in with people. Then the west side of the path
was filled with more crowds, and we all waited! It seemed like forever. I wondered if I would get a clear vision of our
Pope. Would he see me? Then my thoughts were interrupted by the cheers of the crowds as the flashing lights and
the famous Pope-mobile came over the hill. There he was; standing, smiling, his hand raised and reaching
over us, not waving just reaching. His reaching hand said “be kind to one another”. If I couldn’t live in the
time of Jesus then this was the truly the next best thing.
